Nauseous Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone feel nauseous? I swear whatever I eat makes me sick to my stomach. I'm only 5 weeks out. I tried drinking Crystal light and that made me feel sick to my stomach. I'm afraid to eat anything as I feel sick afterwards. Any suggestions?

Try to stay away from artificial sweeteners... And things with lots of fat and fake flavouring..

They definitely promote that 'ickie' feeling...

You might try some sugar free peppermints when you feel nauseous. And also be careful to chew your food at least 20 times before you swallow and wait a few minutes between bites. Slow down and don't eat too fast...I find that when I eat too fast it causes me to have issues.

I to am having nausea. I am 7 weeks out. Anything with sugar or fake sugar. Also I have had Cereal and milk and I feel real bad. I am taking Zofram and Nexium but it is still happening. I hope this doesn't last forever.

I went to the doctor and they said I had a stricture, since I have had it diolated the nausea and the acid reflux is gone.

how did they dilate the stricture ? What does that entail?

They do an endoscopy and when they put the camera down your throat they use the bougie to make the opening that has narrowed wider. I am also back to throwing up again so it didn't really work.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
